Supplier Engagement
Acting beyond the surface includes catalyzing sustainable change in our supply chain. In the past, we have worked with individual suppliers to create sustainable innovations and offerings. We’ve held conversations with our suppliers to learn about their ESG-related policies and practices. In 2021, we began considering how to formalize supplier environmental engagement and gain greater transparency into our supply chain. Doing so will help us make strategic and responsible sourcing decisions while proactively assessing risks to supply and our reputation.
At this time, we are updating our quarterly supplier survey with questions that will demonstrate whether — and how — our suppliers are paying attention to important ESG factors. We will continue to plan other ways to engage suppliers in continuous environmental improvements.
We plan to focus on U.S.-based companies that supply our top three product components: phenolic resin, melamine resin, and kraft/deco papers. This covers more than 99% of our HPL and Compact Laminate components.
